  • I got this because of my scalp problems with itching and dryness. I've been using this for at least two weeks now and I haven't noticed a difference. The only positive is that it smells good.

I am a Black American woman with natural type 4 hair. I had been experiencing serious dry, itchy, flaky scalp since I went natural 4 mths ago. I shampoo with the Retention Moisture shampoo, deep condition with the Trauma Masque, and then spray this elixir on my hair and scalp. I use the elixir daily, and I've had tremendous relief from my dry ithcy scalp. It really does work with regular use.

I bought this product because I was looking for a braid spray without petroleum or mineral oil to address the itching that commonly comes with braided extensions. Not only did it address the itching, but it also helped to reduce frizz. I highly recommend the product. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is that it wasn't on the shelf at my local target, so I had to locate a sales person and have her search in the back, and that has happened a couple of times when I'm looking for shea moisture products

I've been transitioning from perm to natural hair for a full year now *whew what a process lol* however my scalp has always been itchy even when permed. I became aware of this product from a hair blog and decided to try it. FIRST OFF the smell is great! and the cooling relief of this product is perfect. It truly delivers what it promises - soothing relief from dry or itchy scalp. Lightweight enough to use everyday if needed. Love this product. It will definitely be a mainstay in my regular use of products.

I've always had dandruff and an itchy scalp. After learning about the drying effects of sulfates, I switched to [...] product line but still experienced itchiness and flaking. This was in part due to years of relaxing my hair. Last year I decided that I would stop having my hair relaxed and made the decision to move to [...]. Even though I was only using an essential oil mist, my itchy scalp continued and so did the flaking, according to my [...] consultant. One day about a month ago she to ld me about this product which I went to purchase immediately. I have been very pleased with the results and the fragrance is light and wonderful!!!! Off to purchase my 2nd bottle tommorow. I checked on line and my store indicates that it's in stock. The only thing is the ad on Target's website indicates that it's a 12 oz. bottle when, in fact, it's only 4 oz. But it's a whole lot cheaper than the [...] products and way more effective!!!

Tried this after BC and experiencing extremely dry itchy scalp. Realized that it was shampoo containing sulfates that was causing the problem but even after stopping noticed that my scalp was still in bad shape. As soon as I used this product I felt it working. Love that its a spray and not an oil

This product gave my hair a great shine but did not relieve my dry scalp. I noticed that after a few hours of application, my scalp started to itch. I really wish that this product did the job since it is all natural unfortunately, I went back to my infusium 23 leave in conditioner. I still use it though & it smells great.

It's a little thick. I would say to use before bed. Other than that it was great. I only had to use it once and it's been two weeks with no more itching or dryness!!!
